The enactment of the anti-homosexuality law has come back to haunt Uganda after the US government imposed a series of punitive actions against the country.
The US on Thursday last week announced it had imposed visa restrictions, cancelled a military exercise, diverted funds for a health institution to another country and cut funding for the Uganda Police programme. This was in response to the Anti-Homosexuality Act that imposes harsh penalties for same-sex relations.
